Especially after the king of Chenla drove away the Siamese envoys and was praised by the Ming Dynasty, small countries such as Champasak and Vientiane have intensified. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is afraid that other small countries will do better than him, and he has reduced his weight in the Ming Foreign Affairs Department.

As a result, it became a massacre and murder of Siamese people. Let the bilateral relationship, which was already at the freezing point, slide into a bottomless abyss.

After Da Ming saw that it was almost over, he promised to make small profits and let them form a five-nation alliance. And the Ming Dynasty appointed a commander to command the 200,000 troops of the Five Kingdoms. Although there is more or less rejection, the majesty of the Ming is there.

So the officials agreed.

Therefore, they attacked Siam on three fronts from the junction of the Luang Prabang Mountains and the buffer zone of the Mekong River, the border areas of Nong Khai and Udon Thani on the Nakhon Ratchasima Plateau, and Sakau in the Kamphaeng Mountains. and Myanmar to the west, forming a distant echo trend.

It's just that for Siam, the most critical enemies are only the Ming and Burma. Therefore, most of the troops are deployed in the north of Bashu, around Chiang Mai. As a result, the war in the east made Siam seem to be tight. As a result, Phitsanulok, Udon Thani and other cities changed hands one after another in less than a month.

The entire surrounding area of Siam is also in flames.

Originally, the Qing State promised to send troops to Vietnam and Burma to help Siam deal with the local Ming garrison. and the Burmese Army. However, the sudden outbreak of the White Lotus Rebellion disrupted the plans of the Qing Kingdom. And because the Yunnan-Guizhou region fell into the hands of the White Lotus Sect, the land passage between the Qing State and Siam, Vietnam, Myanmar and other countries was lost.

So for a while, Siam fell into a situation of isolation and helplessness.

The weapons and material aid promised by the British before also came to naught after the end of the Mingying war.

Seeing that the destruction of the country was imminent, Yisha Luo Song swallowed every possible way to seek the forgiveness of the Ming Dynasty. But the attitude of the Ming Dynasty was extremely tough, and the envoys sent by Siam were also blocked by the Ming at the mouth of the Chao Phraya River.

Until the Siamese army stationed in Chiang Mai was in turmoil due to the fall of Phitsanulok. So that Myanmar found empty planes, and in one go. Conquer Chiang Mai and annihilate the entire Siamese army. After that, he went down the river, conquered the cities of Nanbang and Dafu, and successfully joined forces with 80,000 troops of the five countries of the North Road led by the Ming Dynasty.

The local garrison saw that something was wrong. used the strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain, concealed the alliance between Burma and the five countries, abandoned the city and retreated south. As a result, the Burmese and the five-nation coalition forces occupied the city of Phiji without much effort.

By August 1797, the Burmese and Five-Nation coalition forces had approached the northern Langpo in the middle reaches of the Chao Phraya River.

At this time, Da Ming privately informed Siam that he was willing to accept Siam's petition and came forward to mediate.

This is because the Ming Dynasty implemented a balanced policy on the peninsula, so that Siam and Myanmar will always maintain a delicate balance. Although this Siam did annoy the Ming Dynasty. But in the long run, the Ming did not want to see Siam annexed by Burma.

Therefore, when most of Siam's land fell and the country was not protected, the Ming Dynasty finally softened its attitude and came forward to mediate.

In this way, the Ming Dynasty not only allowed Siam to get the lesson it deserved, but also made Siam's national strength roughly equal to that of Myanmar. After all, Myanmar's previous civil strife made the national strength lag behind Siam by a large margin. Now Siam is affected by the war, and its national strength is almost as weak as that of Burma.

Counting it up, the two sides have returned to a delicate balance.

It's just that compared to the Ming Dynasty, the two countries are actually weaker and weaker than before. Because war will always be the biggest gold cave. The impact on people's livelihood and economy is particularly obvious. In recent years, for example, the grain output of Siam and Myanmar has been declining by a multiple. Uncultivated wasteland increases in multiples.

Salt, silk, raw meat, rice, and other necessities closely related to the common people were also affected by the war, and the prices skyrocketed. If Daming had not issued commercial bills to restrict purchases, prices would have risen.

Siam and Myanmar, on the other hand, do not have the same economic experience as the Ming Dynasty. So seeing prices skyrocketing, there is no way to deal with it. Not only that, in order to maintain their superiority on the battlefield, Siamese and Burma also imposed additional war taxes on the people, which made many Siamese and Burmese people live more and more hardships. There is even a general, hungry phenomenon.

Although both countries have Buddhism as the state religion. Most of the people are devout Buddhists. But this does not mean that the people are just obedient and hard-working clay figures. The history of the uprising and uprising between Siam and Burma also has a long history.

For example, the previous ruler of Siam, Zheng Xin, also known as Thonburi the Great, was removed from the throne by the people and nobles who were dissatisfied with him. Therefore, as life became worse and worse, the people of Siam and Burma became more and more dissatisfied with the rulers, including the king.

The most direct proof is that since the resumption of war in Siam-Myanmar, the number of Siamese-Burmese immigrants in Johor Bahru has skyrocketed by 20 times compared with before. Especially in the areas south of Yecheng and Bashu, after falling into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

The people of Siam and Myanmar even lined up in a long queue to ask to enter the Ming Dynasty on the border of the three countries of Ming and Burma. Because the local area has just been controlled by the Ming Dynasty, many opposition forces have not yet been cleared. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was cautious and did not allow the people of Siam and Myanmar to enter the Ming Dynasty from here.

It is considered to be the most convenient land passage closed.

Otherwise, the Siamese and Burmese people who entered the Ming Dynasty would increase by five to ten times on the original basis.

In addition, the migration of the five small countries of Champasak, Luang Prabang, Sichuan Khouang, Vientiane and Chenla has also shown a sharp increase. Although compared to Siam, the size of immigrants in the five small countries is small. But these five small countries themselves are not very populous.

After such a massive exodus, productivity will inevitably regress. Coupled with the impact of sending troops to Siam, agricultural production will only worsen.

This is in line with Daming's expectations!

Before they have the strength to swallow and digest the entire Indochina Peninsula, let the regional powers, led by Siamese and Burma, become more and more chaotic and weak. Even before the Ming Dynasty sent troops, these countries were torn apart.

Therefore, this mediation will only be a cowardly gesture of the Ming Dynasty. The main purpose is to temporarily prevent Burma from weakening Siam. And the Ming Dynasty itself also had more serious economic problems. So I want to cut some meat from Siam, Myanmar and other countries to strengthen myself.

Especially for food, Da Ming will definitely open his mouth to them lions.

At the moment, the prince of Ishara Song Tun is to discuss with his staff how to vote for the favor of the Ming Dynasty and win the favor of the Ming Dynasty. In terms of mediation, the interests of Siam will be safeguarded to the greatest extent. As long as Siam can keep the national honor and maintain the rule of the Siamese royal family, Siam can agree to any conditions. Even including land reparations!

Forced to this point, one can imagine how dangerous the situation in Siam is! Therefore, the prince of Ishara Songtun is also under great pressure.

(Some book friends say that the update is too slow, and this really needs to be understood.) The main reason is that there is basically no income from this book, so usually, I have to do some part-time work to earn some living expenses. Two chapters a day is a limited amount of time that can be squeezed out on a regular basis. It's updated so late every day because it wasn't written until the evening. ）
